APPLICATION AREAS AND MARKET OVERVIEW
Card business is a significant source of revenue for financial institutions
EUROPEAN BANKS GENERATE AROUND 59 BILLION EUROS FROM IT
For many banks, payment cards also represent their customers’ daily interaction with the institution and are therefore an anchor product and important customer loyalty tool.
IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY COMPLEX TO GENERATE REVENUE IN THE CARD BUSINESS
Due to new competitors, regulatory conditions, and changing customer expectations, current revenue components are under pressure. The main sources of revenue – the annual fee and foreign fees – are on a downward trend.
- In 2019, the European card business saw 89 billion transactions with a volume of €3,541 billion
- Card payment transaction volumes grew by an average of 6 percent per year between 2015 and 2019

Face-to-face on-site banking in branches is increasingly being replaced by online banking only. This requires banks to offer their customers the same online experience
that they have come to expect from face-to-face consultations. If they fail to do so, they risk inactivity or even termination.
TRADITIONAL APPROACHES

How to use our service
How do the first weeks go in detail?
What is the difference to a BI system?
ADTELLIGENCE, THE LINK BETWEEN TWO WORLDS
Traditional multichannel marketing is automated with Acceleraid: Acceleraid automatically & continuously creates and uses insights to turn them into automated campaigns
Where are the emails created?
- Texts and images (email variants) are still created in email tool
- Email variants are automatically synchronized with the Acceleraid platform
- Campaign is created in Acceleraid system and at least one email variant is selected from email tool
- Acceleraid sends daily information about which email should be sent to which customer to email tool (user ID and email variant).
- Email tool then reconnects the user ID to the actual name and finally sends the e-mail campaigns
How do I set up a campaign, manage it and measure its success?
EASY SETUP OF A CAMPAIGN
- Easy configuration of target groups via drag & drop e.g. customers who have more than X transactions in a category and are over 50 years old
- Set exclusion criteria per campaign – customers who have already received more than e.g. 5 campaigns this month automatically fall into no target group anymore
- Configure the success criteria: transactions in certain categories, email opens, or clicks in email
INTEGRATION OF THE CONTENT AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE ADDRESS
- The individual texts & image variants are set up in the connected e-mail system in consultation with Acceleraid (optional: creation also completely by Acceleraid)
- E-mail variants are automatically synchronized with the Acceleraid platform
- In addition, you can create several addresses per campaign and let the Acceleraid system optimize how to optimally adress which customer
INTEGRATED SUCCESS REPORTING & LEARNING
